I heard the a couple of weeks ago on Triple J that unemployment in
Peterborough is 37% - is Port Augusta any better?

Looking at a road atlas, it seems as though Port Augusta might be a little
better - Port Augusta is at the junction of two National Highways radiating
in three directions, has four rail lines radiating from it and has more
industry (the power station), etc. Peterborough though appears to be closer
to Adelaide, and such a project could help increase employment in that neck
of the woods.

Also, which party holds the electorates in that part of South Australia? I
smell pork in a nice oak barrel rolling north....
